Hijab Scene #7... oops

The last couple of lines of the Hijab Scene #7, “Yes, I carry explosives/They’re called words/and if you don’t get up/off your assumptions,/They’re going to blow you away,” reflects the narrator as an intellectual woman with power in her words, who is ready to show the person she is talking to that she is not like the stereotype constructed around the women wearing a hijab. The last line of the poem, “They’re going to blow you away” shows that there is going to be an element of surprise of finding what they do not expect to the extreme if the person don’t “get up/off your assumptions,” as she is able to change what he/she thinks completely, as implied by the words “blow you away.” The speaker is confident that she can throw away all that preconception with the power of her words. The implication of these lines is that despite what people assume about her as a woman wearing a hijab, her words are powerful, and capable of completely changing the perspective.
